14
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,760

15
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: threw everything out the window. Gentlemenaitor Steve Kime trading that

16
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: number twenty three overall pick for wide receiver Marquise Hollywood

17
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: Brown did not anticipate this, did not expect this, but

18
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: you know what it is a pleasant surprise. On Day

19
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: one of the twenty twenty two NFL Draft, Shocker pleasantly surprised.

20
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: And Steve Kime is his tenth year obviously running the

21
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: draft along with his scouts and coaches and his personnel.

22
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: People kind of read the draft and we know there's

23
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: going to be a run and wide receivers, and he

24
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: felt like, hey, I'm willing to offer the twenty third

25
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: overall pick and I'm gonna go out and get a

26
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: proven veteran player in the league who's going to be

27
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: reunited with Kyler Murray. They liked him when the draft.

28
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: It feels like we're talking about the twenty nineteen draft

29
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: now and you talk about, you know, all offseason they

30
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: got to find a number two and then you know

31
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: clearly they resigned Aj Green probably two and a half

32
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: or three. They talked about Rondel Moore. You can check

33
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: that box. They have a number two receiver. They can

34
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: do a ton of things on offense. They want to

35
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 1: go four or five wide, you want to spread teams out.

36
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: You got some athletes out there, and I'm sure Kyler

37
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: Murray and Cliff Kingsbury are going to be figuring this out.

38
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: But give the Cardinals a lot of credit. But they

39
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: didn't wait, they didn't reach, and they also acquire a

40
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: third round pick, one hundredth overall. So now going into

41
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: the draft, you only had three in the first three renounds.

42
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: Only you have at least three, and you have a

43
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: proven player that you know is going to help this offense.

44
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: Before we get into Brown and his role within this offense,

45
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: you mentioned the third round pick, number one hundred overall.

46
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: Cardinals will now have three picks on Day two, fifty five,

47
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: eighty seven, and one hundred. So I like the addition

48
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: of a third round pick. Now Markus Brown, entering his

49
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: fourth season, his fifth year option, much like Kyler Murray,

50
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: will be exercised. According to gentlemanager Steve Kime, we can

51
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: get into that in a moment, but just the particulars

52
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: because you brought up the draft and how it was unfolding.

53
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: The first wide receiver off the board with the Atlanta

54
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: Falcons and the eighth overall pick, it was Drake London,

55
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: and then after Charles Cross was the selection of the

56
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 1: Seahawks at number nine. Three straight wide receivers went off

57
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: the board. Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Jamison Williams. Then all

58
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: of a sudden, there was rumblings of what might be

59
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: happening with the Arizona Cardinals six wide receivers, with Treylon

60
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: Brooks going to number eighteen six and the first eighteen picks,

61
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: and you'd want to be true to your board if

62
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: the Cardinals were looking to add a wide receiver. Certainly,

63
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden you go to maybe that

64
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: second or third tier, and you'd have to think that

65
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: this had been in the words talking about the trader

66
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: at least some discussions between Cardinals and Ravens to go

67
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,839
Speaker 1: out and acquire a proven wide receiver as opposed to

68
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: someone that's Again, maybe you had some question marks because

69
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: you just don't know what you're gonna get from a

70
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: lot of these draft picks. Yeah, and the key is

71
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: the Cardinals owners rights for the next couple of years.

72
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: Steve Kine mentioned at a press conference are going to

73
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: pick up fiftier option um. And you could tell that

74
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is not very happy based on his social

75
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: media account. And I think everyone's surprised again when it

76
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: comes to trades. I know that you know a lot

77
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: of teams will and deal, but what we're talking about

78
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: big time, five star players moving up for Buddha Baker. Okay,

79
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: going out and making the trade for Chandler Jones, going

80
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: out and making the trade for DeAndre Hopkins, going out

81
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: and getting Carson Palmer, I mean again, Rodney Hudson, Jack,

82
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: There's there's there's three or four ways you build a roster. Okay,

83
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: It's obviously the draft is you is your belly of

84
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: your roster in the future, also signing free ages, retaining

85
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 1: your own trades, and then trying to figure it out.

86
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: So I mean it's I mean again, and the whole idea.

87
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: Craig and I would have taken any of those receivers

88
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: because they all had a little bit of upside. But

89
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: we know how difficult this offense is. This look at

90
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: Rondel Moore, look at Christian Kirkins first year, even Larry Fitzgerald.

91
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's difficult. But now you've got a

92
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: plug and play guy very he's very familiar with the

93
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: offense they ran with the Ravens. They're gonna use him

94
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: the same way here. It's a no brainer. This is

95
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: this is a home run for the Cardinals. Twelfth Draft

96
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: day trade and Steve Kimes ten years as general manager,

97
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: and he's had at least one trade and eight of

98
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: those ten years and still we've got Day two in

99
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: Day three now, he has never traded out of the

100
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: first round and has never traded out of the first

101
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: round for a player. But you're looking at someone five nine,

102
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: one eighty So not the prototypical outside wide receiver that

103
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: we had been talking about leading into the draft, as

104
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: far as a big target six feet and above six

105
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: two sixty three like a Traylon Brooks, but Mark Keith

106
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: Brown and general manager Steve Kim talked about it as

107
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: well in his press briefing after the acquisition. You can

108
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: utilize Brown anywhere on the football field. Tyreek Hill not

109
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: a six foot receiver, but you can use him all

110
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: over the field. And if you have that type of

111
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver, then I'm okay with not a big body.

112
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: That's a rare exception to where you can line up

113
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: a five foot nine wide receiver on the outside and

114
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: be comfortable with that spot. So I do like it

115
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: in that aspect because it does now open everything up

116
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: as far as the offense is concerned. Yeah, you know,

117
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: I was I was an agreeing with you about getting

118
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: that big, physical receiver on the outside, and you know

119
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: Johan Dotson didn't have that, but he did play a

120
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: ton on the outside. We looked at Burke's he fit

121
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,679
Speaker 1: the profile. But then I started figuring it out. There's

122
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: there's I mean, you're talking about if the Cardinals want

123
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: to go four wide, who's who's going to cover who?

124
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: You talk about them picking out a third and fourth corner.

125
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys can and you got a guy

126
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: that can take them off the top of the defense.

127
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,119
Speaker 1: Along with roundel Moore, you you gotta go a hop

128
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: obviously a really good red zone target. You got a

129
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: j Green who could maybe get some first downs for

130
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: you with some of the back shoulder fades in the

131
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: fifty fifty balls. So it's gonna be intriguing now, you know,

132
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: I do think it wouldn't surprise me, and I don't

133
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: know anything. I would think that the next couple of

134
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: days it's gonna be heavy defense, and the only other

135
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: position I could see is running back at some point,

136
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: and maybe a quarterback in the seventh ront or undrafted

137
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: free agent. But I think they're gonna go heavy on

138
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: defense over these next couple of days. Just based on

139
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: them going offense, considering the last couple of years defensive

140
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: inside linebacker, I'd add the interior offensive line as well

141
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: as far as day two and day three. Greatest point.

142
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: But now with this offense, because you always talk about

143
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: all right, DeAndre Hopkins win healthy, all the attention, all

144
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: the focuses on that side of the field, well not anymore.

145
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: You resigned aj Green, you resigned zach Ertz. Do we

146
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: see Ertz the slot? Do we see with him in

147
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: his hand in the dirt? And now all of a sudden,

148
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: Rondel Moore, going into year or two, you add Mark

149
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: Keys Brown. Oh, by the way, you got James Connor

150
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: in the backfield if healthy. This on paper is shaping

151
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: up to be a very high powered offense. They really

152
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: can go five wide, four wide and zach Ertz. And

153
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: that means obviously when they go with that Murray up

154
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: offense at Up Temple, it's gonna be it's gonna be

155
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: difficult for the opponents to make substitutions. So you're gonna

156
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: spread teams out and these guys should be getting in separation.

157
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: Just have it hop on the field and Hollywood Brown,

158
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: this offense will look a lot different just from based

159
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: on separation, regardless of hop Is on there. But again

160
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: we know last year technically eight red zone touchdowns, so

161
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a target. But you can go five wide,

162
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: four wide receivers and then throwing ERT's in there and

163
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: pick your poison. Now they've got to cover the entire field.

164
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: Last season, mark Ys Brown ninety one catches or a

165
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: thousand yards six touchdown in sixteen games. He's played at

166
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 1: least sixteen games in each of the past two seasons.

167
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: So you can rely on Marquise Brown being on the

168
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: football field and overall as far as that deep threat,

169
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: that target, as far as being able to take the

170
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: top off the defense is since he into the league

171
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, MJ eleven touchdowns of twenty or more yards.

172
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: That is tied for third in the NFL, and that

173
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: is something that this offense had been missing. Once upon

174
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: a time. It was thought, okay, maybe it's Andy Isabella.

175
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden, you can be a little

176
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: bit more judicious with Rondel Moore as far as where

177
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: you play him inside outside, But I would think if

178
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna play tomorrow, DeAndre Hopkins on one side Marquis

179
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: Brown on the other side, Rondel Moore in the slot,

180
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: and you see where you want to put Zacher's whether

181
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: that's as an extra blocker, and then he flares out

182
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: or in the slot again, and you're running four wide

183
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: with a one wide receiver as the tight end. And

184
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: then aj he just becomes the guy that can come

185
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: in and spell a receiver or depending on down in distance,

186
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: where the ball is on the football field. Yeah, you

187
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: mentioned ten of those touch Ten of those big plays

188
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: were on touchdown. He had twenty one in the last

189
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: three years. As you alluded to me a little bit earlier,

190
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: He's made progress every single year's first year he had

191
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: seven hundred ten yards seven touchdowns, is second year nine

192
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: to sixty five, eight touchdowns, last year a thousand eight yards,

193
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: six touchdowns, twenty one and tens coming from the big playability,

194
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: and that's something where the Rams benefited from with Odell

195
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 1: Beckham and Cooper Cup I mean, I mean nothing against

196
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett or Robert Woods. I'd rather have a young,

197
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: healthy Hollywood Brown in my offense. So the reaction as

198
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 1: far as what fans are thinking about with this move,

199
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: now we've been talking about it and hyping up the

200
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: NFL Draft party presented by Arizona four Dealers out on

201
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: the Great Lawn outside State Farm Stadium on Thursday day nights.

202
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: And well, all right, so you didn't get to hear

203
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: the commissioner announce with the twenty third overall pick the

204
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: car Arizona Cardinals select player whomever. But what those fans

205
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: did get an opportunity to see and here is Hollywood

206
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: Brown himself. How about owner Michael Bidwell going out flying

207
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: to pick up Brown and bring him one of his

208
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: first stops in the state of Arizona is at the

209
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 1: draft party out at State Farm Stadium. He was all smiles.

210
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, maybe some disappointment because you want that new face,

211
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: that new kid, that fresh face, if you will. That's okay,

212
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: Well we'll just give you a wide receiver that's coming

213
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: off a thousand yards and oh, by the way, here

214
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: he is and you can hear from him. So that

215
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: was the That was the exclusive experience at the Cardinals

216
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: NFL Draft party out at State Farm Stadium on Thursday night. Yeah,

217
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: you know reports are out there are Michael built Bidwell

218
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: announced to the crowd the draft party on the trade.

219
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: That was something Hollywood wanted, he was expressing it, and

220
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 1: the fact that he was able to go pick him

221
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: up and bring him to the draft party. That's better

222
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: than you know, picking a player where you're not going

223
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: to see him at least for a day or so

224
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: press conference wise. And the fact that you know Kyler

225
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: Murray's on board. Like I said, I don't know if

226
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: they could have done a better job here. And again

227
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: when it comes to trades, Steve Kim is right up

228
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: there with a lot of guys, and you know, he

229
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 1: talked about it all week. Hey, if I need to

230
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: go up, I'll go up you. And I thought you

231
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: just don't have the AMMO. But here he makes a

232
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: trade and he acquires a pick, give him up only

233
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: the twenty third over our pick. He's under contract for

234
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: a few years, fifty year options. So like I said,

235
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 1: you know, we'll temper it because they still got to

236
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: protect Kyler Murray. They still got to stop the run,

237
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: they still got to get pressure on the quarterback. But

238
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: I do think adding Jeff Gladney allow this team to

239
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 1: little pull back a little bit by drafting a corner,

240
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: because it could have drafted at the corner if they

241
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: stayed there. At twenty three because some of the linemen

242
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: were coming off the board. I mean, we think you

243
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: know Minady Tyler Lindenbaum, but again, he only plays one position.

244
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: You needed the guy to come in and play right away,

245
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: and you don't have to wait for a rookie to develop.

246
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: This guy's a well oiled machine. Well, and you think

247
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: about what is on the other side of this twenty

248
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: twenty two regular season. The Super Bowl is where State

249
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: Farm Stadium, right in your own backyard. So why wait when?

250
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: And I don't want to say all in because it's

251
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: so easy to say teams are going all in. They're

252
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: going forward. Every team is trying they should and it's

253
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 1: a matter of right, how do you figure out how

254
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: to build that team? And the idea here was to

255
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: find someone that is known. And I'll go back and

256
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to talk with Steve come during our

257
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: Cardinals Draft Central show earlier on Thursday, and I went

258
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: back and told him went back to something that he

259
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,599
Speaker 1: said during his pre draft press comp when he was

260
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: asked about resigning your own free agents, the known versus

261
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: the unknown. You know what you're going to get Cardinals. Yes,

262
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: it is a little bit of an unknown with Marcis

263
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: Brown because he's not been in your building. But as

264
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 1: far as production at this stage in the National Football League,

265
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: three seasons worth versus a rookie. Nothing against the players

266
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: that were drafted Drake London, Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, but

267
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: you just don't know are they going to be productive

268
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: in year one? Here? The expectation is Markis Brown comes

269
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: in running and should be able to again given the

270
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: history with Kyler Murray, kind of welcome in everyone and

271
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: be able to go full speed. Well, you know, you

272
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: and I sit across from each other, and when the

273
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: Rams got Allen Robinson were like the rich kid Richard.

274
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't have to listen fronty, but I

275
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: think if you look at the top four Cardinal wide receivers,

276
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: they would probably be in the top five or seven

277
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: in the entire National Football League with the addition of

278
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: Marcis Brown. And then we talked about the tandem at

279
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: tight end, the best they've had since they moved here

280
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty eight, Zach Ertz and Max Williams and

281
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: then James Conner. Yeah, I mean, if Kingsbury's got to

282
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: be licking his chops because this is the offense he

283
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: really wanted to run. But you've got to be patient

284
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: about it. And the fact is that nothing against rookies

285
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: because you know obviously that you can get him on

286
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: a four or five year deal. But I like the

287
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: fact that they owned his rights. I don't. Maybe we've

288
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: done it, but that's important part of the trade because

289
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: you're not trading a guy on an expiring contract hoping

290
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: he's going to resign where he's gonna bet on himself

291
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: and he has a great year and he he's looking

292
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: the grass is greener. Well, he's gonna be here for

293
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: at least a few years, possibly two or three years.

294
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: Well I want to touch on that in a moment here,

295
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: but we talked about the fans out at State Farm Stadium.

296
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: What about the fans in Las Vegas for the draft?

297
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: Those Cardinal fans, And we got a little bit of reports.

298
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: Our colleague up there on the third floor, Nick Erickson,

299
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: fan Developments and loyalty coordinator for the was on the

300
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: Cardinals took a group of Cardinal fans to Las Vegas.

301
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: And again you're waiting for that commissioner to stand up

302
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: and say who they are is on a Cardinal select

303
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: didn't happen, but the trade was announced and according to Nick,

304
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: fans very excited. And you have to be excited about

305
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: the prospects of Marquis Brown within this offense because of

306
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: what it means. Now, all of a sudden, it's just

307
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: not all right. You take DeAndre Hopkins off the field,

308
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: you still have other players to utilize, whether that's Brown,

309
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: whether that's Green, whether that's Earths, whether that's Connor, and

310
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it doesn't become the offense doesn't

311
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: become reliable on just one player. Yeah, like you always say,

312
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: find a way. And the good news is they only

313
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: invited twenty players to the draft, so possibly if the

314
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: Cardinals would have selected a player, he may have been there.

315
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: So now they can react and they do a great

316
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: job with this. There are itinerary there. They're busied, you know,

317
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: they're they're obviously season ticket holders is a benefit of

318
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: being that so and again a lot of people are

319
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: gonna stay there with the weekend. It's just one night.

320
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: We know our guy, Nick has done a great job,

321
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 1: and they were I think they flew out was a Wednesday.

322
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: Wednesday got settled and obviously the itinery is you know

323
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: this and this that keep you busy. So that's one

324
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: of the benefits of penises and took a whole everybody. Yeah,

325
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: it's I mean, you'd like to see the player, but

326
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if that player would have been there.

327
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: So now you know the player and you don't have

328
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: to worry about, Hey, who do they pick? Cardinals Cover

329
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: two presented by Hunday, proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals.

330
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: As we speak here on Thursday nights at the end

331
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: of Day one, Round one of the twenty twenty two

332
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: NFL Draft, and now let's get to what this means

333
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: for the Cardinals, not just short term, but long term because,

334
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: as we heard now officially, Kyle Murray had his fifth

335
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: year option exercise. KI mentioned that Marquis Brown twenty fifth

336
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: overall selection in that twenty nineteen draft class, in which

337
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: Kyle Murray was the number one overall pick. They planned

338
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: the Cardinals planned to exercise that fifth year option. But

339
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: the Cardinals have been very vocal, have been very open

340
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: about Kyler Murray is the franchise quarterback. He is going

341
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: to be here long term. The Arizona Cardinals do not

342
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: make this trade for Brown. In my opinion, just for

343
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: this season and next season. What this move should tell

344
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: everyone is that Kyler Murray and Mark Keys Brown are

345
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: becoming one and two as far as your offense is concerned.

346
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: Now they can grow together teammates in Oklahoma twenty seventeen

347
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: and twenty eighteen and now teammates once again still early

348
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: on in their professional careers. And this offense should not

349
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: get stagnant. You know, we talk about what happens in

350
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: the second half of the season if they're gonna make

351
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: adjustments Cardinals, and clearly they got to stay healthy. It's

352
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 1: just like any other team. But this offense will not

353
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: be stagnant. They'll be able to put points on the board.

354
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: I mean, and maybe one of those situations when they

355
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: are seven in ten and two Craig to where you

356
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: get a lead in the fourth quarter and you just

357
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 1: pound the football, like let's not get cute here. But

358
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: the way they finished the seasons, how everyone's going to

359
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: judge them. But this offense should not be stagged. And

360
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: even if one guy goes out and I don't care

361
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: if it's hop Brown, they have enough players around them.

362
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: And now you've got to protect Kyler Murray and knock

363
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: on Wood that everyone stays healthy. But that's what you have.

364
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,719
Speaker 1: You have this depth a wide receiver, you have depth

365
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: at tight end, you have depth at running back. Obviously

366
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: there's a drop off when you lose the starter, but

367
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: that is something that's the offense. You cannot have a

368
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: repeat of what happened a year ago when DeAndre Hopkins

369
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: missed that end of the regular season to where the

370
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: offense literally went downhill and downhill fest. And even if

371
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: hop goes down, now you're asking these guys to play

372
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: seventeen games. Sign me up for every guy to play

373
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: at least fifteen games. You know, I love the seventeen games.

374
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: It's obviously then you get in the postseason and I think,

375
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: you know, when the rankings come out, I think you're

376
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: going to see the Cardinals probably top five or six offense,

377
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: offense being able to put points on the board, scoring

378
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: in the red zone. And you know, I think Matt

379
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: Prador with a healthy Andy Lee and Aaron Brewery, he's

380
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 1: gonna have a great year. Cliff can sit there and

381
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: kicks you know, fifty five sixty yard folicals. But now

382
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 1: you've got some weapons, you get them closer than field

383
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: goal range. We don't like the extra point filicals score touchdowns,

384
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: and that's something the team wasn't able to do down

385
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: the stretch. Cardinals averaged twenty six point four points per

386
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: game last season, should goleventh in the league. Nine times

387
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 1: they scored thirty or more points. I'm not gonna say

388
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: thirty is the magic number, but heck, early on last season,

389
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 1: thirty was the benchmark. Thirty plus points, four hundred plus

390
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: yards of total offense, and then all of a sudden

391
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: it just didn't quite work. Now you gotta be able

392
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: to sustain that, or at least be able to move

393
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: the football up and down the field and score enough

394
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: points to where you're not struggling in that. Looking back,

395
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: I don't again, this is not the be all, end all,

396
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: but it certainly does answer one of the bigger questions

397
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: we had this offense playmaker question we asked last offseason,

398
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: and they answered it with AJ Green. You bring back

399
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: AJ Green for year two, and now you have that

400
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: future piece along with the Rondel Moore to kind of

401
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: pair with the young quarterback in Coddle, the Murray Craig.

402
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 1: You rate The capsules for the Cards cover two podcasts

403
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: and we use the words help want it looking for

404
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: number two and they checked that box and it's not

405
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: a rookie. It's a well established receiver that's been in

406
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: the league. Again, it's a home run for me. I

407
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: again without stating the abbey, you gotta stay healthy, and

408
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: I just look forward to seeing how this offense can

409
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: come together. And you know there's only one ball to

410
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: go around, but I think everyone's willing into sacrifice, put

411
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 1: their hand the pile and say it's about winning. We

412
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: want to win. And the Cardinals are host, you know,

413
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: the super Bowl this year, so I definitely want to

414
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: get in the playoffs and try to make a run.

415
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: And you know it's gonna come down to physicality winning

416
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage. But we know this team

417
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: can score points if they need to. By the way,

418
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: you know, we keep benniking reference to Hollywood and his

419
00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: nickname Hollywood. I was not aware of where that originated from.

420
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: It's just always become you talk about wide receiver Hollywood bran.

421
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: Everyone knows it's Marquis Brown. You just you know that's

422
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: who he is. It's you know, the one word person.

423
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: But he is a native of Hollywood, Florida and earned

424
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: that nickname while playing at Oklahoma with Kyler Murray because

425
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: of the connection of those two for two seasons, seventy

426
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 1: five catches over thirteen hundred yards and ten touchdowns. That

427
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: was in twenty eighteen alone, when Murray won the Heisman Trophy.

428
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: So the explosiveness of that Oklahoma offense, Brown led the

429
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 1: nation and receptions forty plus yards, fifty plus yards, and

430
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 1: sixty plus yards in twenty eighteen. You brought up Lincoln

431
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: Riley already as far as the head coach at Oklahoma

432
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 1: then now at USC But how much Oklahoma film now

433
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: does Cliff Kingsbury watch just to see that k could

434
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: that connection, that chemistry between quarterback and wide receiver. I

435
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: gotta think he you know, I asked him, I said,

436
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: when are you gonna start, you know, drawing up plays?

437
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: And I'm sure he's just thinking about it, but you know,

438
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: it's happened and now he can look at it. We know,

439
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: when we had a chance to without the pandemic, you'd

440
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: walk by his office. He's always watching film. And the

441
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: fact is the Cardinals had interested in him in the draft,

442
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: and you know, obviously Kyler Murray would love to have

443
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: all these guys, including Cydee Lamb and everyone everyone else.

444
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: But I just like the fact that I did not

445
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: see this coming. I gotta be honest with you. I

446
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: was thinking, you know, I was hoping that they would

447
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: draft someone that can come in and contribute right away.

448
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: And they have definitely answered that. Oh, there's no question

449
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: about it. Kyle Murray, by the way, on social media

450
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: on Twitter quote, let's run it back Hollywood to the Desert.

451
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: Y'all welcome my boy and tweets and as again, they

452
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: have been working out together in Dallas. So we were asking,

453
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 1: you know, if Kyler Murray's not here during the offseason

454
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: strength and condition, right, who's he throwing the football too?

455
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: Because while d Hop's here, Green's here, Morris here, Wesley's here,

456
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 1: Dortsch is here, Asabella's here, but Jellia is here, you know,

457
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: all the wide receivers are here. Well, he's working out

458
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: with now what we didn't know at the time, And

459
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: according to Steve Kim, Kyler Murray didn't know what at

460
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: the time. Either they kept these contracts or this trade

461
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: talk kind of quiet because they didn't want it to

462
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 1: get out. How difficult can that be. I'll give him

463
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: props because it did not leak as they like to say,

464
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: just like the DeAndre Hopkins yea. And the fact that

465
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: he's working out with them and their close friends obviously

466
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: if they want to keep working out in Dallas. I'm

467
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: fine with Yeah, I'm good. I'm looking forward to everyone

468
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: being here though, for you know, when it gets the

469
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: OTA's in a mandatory mini camp and actually, I don't know,

470
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: you know, we have to wait and see what the

471
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: rookie mini camp looks like, because they're gonna obviously address

472
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: some rookies over the next couple of days. Cardinals still

473
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: again with now three picks on day two plus five

474
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: picks on day three, you're looking at eight draft picks,

475
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: just without a first round selection here in twenty twenty two.

476
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: So certainly the draft party at stay Farm Stadium a success.

477
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: How about Saturday the draft weekend country concert featuring Ryan

478
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: Hertlanka and Calista Clark on the Great Lawn at stay

479
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: Farms Stadium. Go to Sportsman's Park az dot com for

480
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: more information. So day one, as we kind of wrap

481
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: up this for the Cardinals, yes, I'm giving them an

482
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: a me too. Now, I don't know what everyone else

483
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: will do come Friday morning or waiting until those draft

484
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: parts come out on Sunday. But I think, you know,

485
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 1: you know, those national and analytics guys, they'll come up

486
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: with grade. But I mean eight plus. I mean again,

487
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: he's under contract. Um, you also got a hundreds picking

488
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: the drafts. Now you got three more bites at the

489
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: Apple over the next couple of days. And you know,

490
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: obviously we'll see what they do and on Saturday, but

491
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,360
Speaker 1: they should get passing great here because anybody they would

492
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: have taken at twenty three. I showed you a couple

493
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,479
Speaker 1: of those simulators, like if they were to take Treylon Burks,

494
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: he was ranking forty five on their draft board, and

495
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: if they were taking him at twenty three, they actually

496
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: gave me a D minus. Here are the six wide

497
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: receivers that went in the first eighteen picks, so and

498
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: the Cardinals were not on the clock until number twenty three.

499
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: Drake London, Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Jamison Williams, Johan Dotson,

500
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: Treylon Brooks all gone and the first eighteen picks. That's

501
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 1: a third of the draft through eighteen picks and wide receivers.

502
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 1: And we talked about Jamison Williams, does he fall what

503
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,959
Speaker 1: about Johan Dotson getting mocked to the Cardinals at twenty three.

504
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: Treylon Brooks was a popular choice at number twenty three.

505
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: Well Williams went number twelve to the Lions, Dotson went

506
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 1: sixteen to Washington in a trade with the Saints, and

507
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: then Brooks goes eighteen to the Titans. So all of

508
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,239
Speaker 1: those wide receivers off the board, and you wonder, you know,

509
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,479
Speaker 1: did that influence the Cardinals to pull the trigger? Had

510
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: the trigger already been pulled and we were just kind

511
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 1: of waiting it forward to become officials. So all the

512
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: inner workings of all that, and of course, you know

513
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: these conversations have to occur prior to day one on Thursday.

514
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: It's just you don't just pick up the phone and

515
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: call the raven say hey, you want this first round

516
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: draft pick that we have and we want Marquis Brown.

517
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: Now these those conversations had been happening, it just might

518
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: have been all right, how's this draft process going to

519
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 1: go before the cardinal said yeah, this is what we're

520
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: gonna do. And you know, I think you told us that.

521
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 1: Peter King a couple of weeks ago said you may

522
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,199
Speaker 1: not see a guy that touches the ball in the

523
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: top ten, there was only one, and that would have

524
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: been Drake. Actually two Garrett Wilson went number ten. Okay,

525
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: so two wide receivers and the first two picks. But

526
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: we were we were close to having, for the first

527
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: time ever an NFL draft history, a player not selected

528
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: in the first ten picks, in which that player touches

529
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: the ball talking about quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tight

530
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: end regularly touches the ball, but had to wait until

531
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 1: the eighth pick. Overall, Drake London going to the Falcons.

532
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: So Trey Von Walker with number one, obviously Aiden Hutchinson.

533
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: What a perfect spot he played at Michigan, Dan Campbell,

534
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 1: Derek Stingley Junior went to Houston. We talked about on

535
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: our mock draft for Lovey lugs all cover corners when

536
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: you play that cover two the Jets gets. The Jets

537
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: had a great draft. They got Sauce Gardner and then

538
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: Thibadeau went to the Giants, Ikey and Quanto Evan, Neil,

539
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: Drake London, Charles Cross, Garrett Wilson, and I think Detroit

540
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: they got probably the best receiver in Jamis Williams. And

541
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: then you know, we talked about Jordan Davis, Kyle Hamilton,

542
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: Kenyan Greene. I mean there was talk that the Chargers

543
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: wanted to improved the offensive line to protect Justin Herbert.

544
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: They get Zion Johnson. The Titans trade A j. Brown,

545
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: Philly gives him four years, one hundred million, and they

546
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: get trey Lin Burkes. You know what, they don't have

547
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: to pay him now, all that kind of money, and

548
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: we did have a quarterback come up with the board.

549
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett went to Steelers, of course share the same facility.

550
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: Trump McDuffie, Chiefs, Quay Walker Packers. Elon went to the Bills.

551
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: I think I had him. One of those guys maybe

552
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: was Dexton Hall, Tyrn Smith, Tyroll Lindeba went to the Ravens.

553
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: Jermaine Johnson. The Jets got three guys, Jermaine Johnson. I

554
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: think Jeremiah had all three of those guys in his

555
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: top nine on his big board. Wow, it was fascinating

556
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: watching how this draft unfolded. The first five picks all

557
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: defensive players, then the next five picks, or if you

558
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: want to go, the next seven picks, if you want

559
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: to count alive and Williams as far as eleven and twelves,

560
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: but certainly defensive heavy at the top, and then all

561
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: of a sudden you saw that run of offensive tackles,

562
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: that run of wide receivers, and then the Cardinals of

563
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: course with the I don't know, biggest surprise, certainly the

564
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: first surprise of day one, sending their twenty third overall

565
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: pick to the Baltimore Ravens for Marquis Hollywood Brown and

566
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: a third round pick this year number one hundred overall. Yeah,

567
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: and we talked about that, you know, I thought the

568
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: only way to do that is moved down, and clearly

569
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: they they were able to. That's that's you know, that's

570
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: smart because here you get established player and now you

571
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: pick up another pick, and you don't feel like there's

572
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: so many picks in between, you know, not having a

573
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: fourth round pick for the Marco Wilson trade and then

574
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: the zach ertztrait, so all of a sudden you got

575
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: another bite at the apple, where coming into Yester you

576
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: only had a couple of bites at the apple. Now

577
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna get at least three. So a solid first day.

578
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: I would think, Oh, it's solid. I mean I don't

579
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how you can I mean again,

580
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: he's still in his rookie contract. I need to emphasize that.

581
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: I don't know how you could have got a better trade.

582
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: I mean a J. Brown, he got four years, one

583
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: hundred million. You got so much money invested in Hopkins.

584
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: This guy's on his rookie contract and they're gonna pick

585
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: up the option. No brainer. I mean, props to them

586
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: because they read the t leaves Craig, So welcome Marky's

587
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown to the arrows on the Cardinals. Hope to

588
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: hear him from him soon on Friday, and then of

589
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: course day two, round second and third, and of course

590
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: we'll talk about Day two as well. But yeah, I

591
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: like I like how this all kind of trans transpired,

592
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: kind of threw everything for a loop, and all that

593
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: pre draft prep as far as the first round is concerned,

594
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: throwing out the window. But hey, okay, it's okay. I

595
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: can look up how he Brown and look what he's

596
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: done to compare to any rookie. How many of these

597
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: rookies will have twenty one touchdowns in the next three years.

598
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: That's a good question. Hey, great job, and you and

599
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: Danny Surrect I enjoyed it. That's that's great coverage. You're

600
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: gonna be again on tomorrow, Cardinals Draft Central on Friday

601
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: and Saturday when the Cardinals pick in round two, their

602
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: second pick, and round three and then the tail end

603
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: in the seventh round will be able to come on again.

604
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: But that's Cardinals Draft Center on Twitter, YouTube and the

605
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: Cardinals Mobile ape. And I know there's a lot of

606
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: work that goes in and behind the scenes. You know,

607
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: I can make a list of everyone, But it was

608
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: I thought it came out really well. This is early,

609
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: the first time he'd been back here since Kyler Murray

610
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: was drafted. Otherwise everything's been shoot. The gms were at

611
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: their own house. Roger Goodell was doing it from his cellar.

612
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: I ran into Steve come before we had him on

613
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: the show for the first time in like two years,

614

Speaker 1: first time in two years, had a chance to run

615
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: into the general manager. Yeah, I'm sure he's gonna be happy.

616
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: He's gonna sleep well tonight, not worrying like they reach

617
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: for someone. They did not reach for anybody in this

618
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: draft less and again it's you project someone they fits

619
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,320

623
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: offense now, Craig, it should not be stagnant. I don't

624
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: care if one of our top receivers or the Cardinals

625
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: top receivers misses the game. This should not like it

626
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: was last year. They should be able to go full

627
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,680
